Living with purpose instead of merely surviving
Macrophages then eat dead cells and release growth signals for new tissue
We thus cultured cells in media with L-cystine but without L-glutamate, media lacking L-cystine and L-glutamate, or media lacking L-cystine but supplemented with L-glutamate (i.e., mimicking system x c - activity)
Conversely, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and omega-3 PUFAs have been shown to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and may counteract the deleterious effects of omega-6 PUFAs, which are typically consumed in excess in Western dietary patterns
